- Never Stop Dreaming -
先週の土曜日僕は友達のお店に行った。あの友達は日本へ来たら、良い友達のうちに一人だ。彼に知り合っては半年だけど、僕たちはいろいろなことをやったぞ。先月の花見バーベキューは彼のおかけでだよ。とにかく彼は土曜日の言葉を言ったら、僕は驚いたけど、嬉しかった。彼はね、僕に会ったら「イケ面」と言っていた。最初ね僕はあの新しい言葉の意味をわからないので、電池辞書で確認した笑顔を向けた。
驚いたの理由はね「イケ面」は「Cool-looking」ということだ。実は僕は「イケ面」じゃねよと思ったが、眠いだけだ。しかしこの事実誰にも知らないそうだ。
嬉しいな理由はいつもカッコ良くないと思うの僕は誰かほめてくれたら、久しぶりの感じだった。
あの感じを持てて、自信もレベルアープだ。しかし僕はすごく眠いから、残念なことに何でもしないだ。
この以外今あの事件まだ考えているよね、実際に考えらすにいられないだ。いいぇ、以上のが違うよ、僕の荷物が盗られたの事件だ。よく考えて見つけないなら、新しいの買うしょうがないなぁ。それから多分新しいPSPを買うかもしれない。メモリカードも、ケースも...

花見 BBQ Chikuma Park Photos
- Never Stop Dreaming -
Here's the photos I promised...not quite up to the standard I wanted but this is probably my first major night shoot so it took me quite a while to get accustomed to the settings without the use of flash. Had to account for the aperture speed and the movement of the subjects. In the end, I realized that night shoots are fun but will probably take a while to pick it up as I am not comfortable with using the flash.
Enjoy

モーカサメ
- Never Stop Dreaming -
On the road to recovery, to preserve my precious face, taking my skin tone into consideration, I have been presented with a rather stringent and simple fare from various sources. My mum, my aunties, friends, etc. have advised me to refrain from certain food products so that the inevitable scar will be less obvious. But since the damage had already been given a permanent resting place on my face, I can only make it less obvious to console the vanity side of me.
You see I am a perfectionist and imperfections and abominations are not desired much less imprinted on me. *Sigh* I am flabbergasted but I can only credit the whole incident to my own misjudgment.
Ok back to the topic...my simple daily fare include veggies, fruits and cooked fish. Soy, soy related products, beans, bean related products, seafood, fungus, chicken and beef are excluded from my diet. Even sashimi and sushi are not spared so I have to go to the supermarket and grab the various supply of fishes and veggies to cook.
On a constant staple of Salmons, and the other regular fishes, I grew thin on the taste of cooked fish. Then one fine day I chanced upon this weird looking juicy and succulent milky fish steak. The cut were thick slabs of meat like beef or pork but the color was milky with read streaks like veins. Ooooh....it looked really really yummy but I have absolutely no idea what it was as I do not have the tendency to check the species of food that I consume especially if all the fishes here taste so good. Besides it's only a measly ¥158 (SGD$2) for 2 huge slabs of it.
Back home I tossed some oil into the pan, washed the fish and rubbrd some salt and pepper before frying it. The meat was rather springy and not flaky like regular fish meat so I presumed this had to be a huge fish. When it's done I took one enthusiastic bite into it and VIOLA! This is indeed one tasty fish. The portion near the end with the prominent read streaks tasted the best. Can't explain it but it tasted like milky fish eggs (not roe) fused into the meat.
Liked the taste of it so much went ahead to run a check on it. Holy cow...hailing from Miyagi Prefecture, this is the infamous shark steak courtesy of the blue shark. Didn't really realize that sharks can be eaten other than sharks' fins. This is definitely better than sharks' fins. But according to a report on the net, predators high up in the food chain in the ocean tends to contain a rather high level of mercury so I shall refrain from it after finishing my fridge supply.
Yummy.

4th of May's tragedy
- Never Stop Dreaming -
On this day I was so down on luck that I broke my head, left me with a 5 stitch gash. The reason was stupid so I shall skipped it altogether. And that's not the end, I got my beloved PSP, my headphones and my treasured flashlight stolen. Talk about bad luck, it just keeps piling up. Walking into a nearby convenient store with half a bloodied face and an arm full of blood, I became the horrid sight of a massive gang fight victim. No it's just my stupidity and not a nasty gang clash and I was pretty guilty of messing up the entire convenient with my fresh red blood.
The little trickles of fresh blood bear so much red that I had witnessed in my life, I can only say those droplets were the most beautiful colors of red I have seen. An ambulance was called because I looked as if I was about to pass out with that much blood oozing out. I survived but I am trashed because the unnecessary hospital bills, ambulance bills, and other emotional injuries...*sigh*
What have I done to deserve such a nasty fate...if God is seriously around, then perhaps he was busying playing his PS3 when I got injured. Or can I attribute it to karma for all those little pesky ants, insects and mosquitos that I have innocently killed.
Whatever the case, I am really really down right not. I am not alright and I am not fine but then again I do not want anyone to send me any well wishes and such asking me if I am alrite. I will survive for now but I will seriously miss those food that I must refrain in the course to recovery.
God doesn't bless, he just hangs around and drink Kilkenny.
I have lost my beautiful face and my pride...

Petal Showers
- Never Stop Dreaming -
Life at times seem pretty transcience and fragile as depicted by the beautiful Sakuras here in Japan. These are magnificient flowers that will capture anyone's heart away when they are at full bloom. Especiallly if you are experiencing it under the dim orange street lamps, surrounded by the moon, stars and a bunch of crazy people in a park overlooking the sleeping city. It's immerse soul-whisking appeal can justified by the fact that they are only here for a short span of time. And when one take a walk down the vision tunnel appreciating the awe and beauty of it all, the occasional winds will gently gather the sakuras and start a shower of petals. In my years of existence, this little shower of sakura petals was probably the closest feeling of being in God's Santuary, Fantasy Lands, Paradise, Heaven.
Well literally think Kent Ridge Park in SG, dimmed with orange street lamps, throw in a little shelter, BBQ pits, and the Sakura trees, overlooking the city below. Then comes the wind scattering sakura petals...and everyone was moving in slow frames bathing in the sakura petals. The place was at Chikuma Park （千曲公園）in Ueda city and if anyone was here with me, you would have clearly understood the meaning of rebirth.
You see I am really honoured to be invited to attend a cherry blossom viewing (花見）by my Japanese friends yesterday nite. It was initially scheduled on the previous Sunday but it was rescheduled due to various reasons. Nonetheless my camera, batt and memory card was already stashed in my aluminium case before Sunday. I had already anticipated how much of me would die in the proccess. But the reality was far, no far would be an understatement, I was unprepared and nothing came close. My expectations were not met but blown outta proportion. Forever, there will be a part of my memory engraved and etched in the the stone pillar in Chikuma Park because I died last nite and was resurrected in the exact park.
Like what many Japanese used to tell me about how the Sakuras represented their feelings which I still could not figured out, the only thing that I clearly understood was that beautiful creations do not last forever and that is the primarily reason why they are so captivating.
Well mere words are never enough but I shall grant you the freedom to dream, to envision and to fictionalize before I post the pics up.

普通に戻った...
- Never Stop Dreaming -
２週間前に僕の家族は日本へ来た。あの時家族と一緒に色々な所で遊ぶって、とても喜んでした。しかし楽しいん時間はいつも早くて、そろそろ終わりました。僕は普通に戻ったら、ちょっと寂しくて次楽しいんなことを待てるよ。
先週はね僕がとてもいいんな友達と彼女一緒に僕の所へ来た。やパリ皆と一緒に、軽井沢で買い物するし、浅間山上で食事するし、全部はとても楽しかった。まあ、僕の友達はシンガポールで日本語を勉強するの時なった。最初から僕たちは日本の色々な事が大好きなのに、いい友達になった。僕の友達はデスモンードさんです。実はねデスモンードさんと僕ように、デスモンードさんはとても優秀な学生です。日本語学校に僕のテストはいつも下手ですけど、デスモンードさんは段々上手になった。学校に僕は自分レベルの学生ように日本語のテストはいつもだめだけど、日本人と会話はぺらぺらだよ。つまりこれは僕のいいポイントていうことだ。デスモンードさんはテストと会話両方もうまいだって、デスモンードさんは優秀な学生と思った。
デスモンードさんと僕のお兄さんは同じ年です。二人ももうすぐ結婚するかもしれないよね。デスモンードさんは僕の所来る前、いっぱい桜を咲く上野公園で彼女にプローポスした。わいわい、これは本当にロマンチークでしょう？僕もやりたいけど、この７月でいつも独身です。残念と思うんですけど、僕の顔はカッコよくないかもしれない。皆の幸せを聞いたらいつも笑いな顔を出す、祝福をあげた。実は心は泣きていたよ。僕も彼女が欲しい、僕も愛あげたい、僕もプローポスしたい、僕も...僕も...
今日朝、友達と彼女は大阪へ行った。あの寒いな屋はも一度僕だけ住んでいる。

最近のアープデート
- Never Stop Dreaming -
なぁ、僕は先週木曜日帰った。両親、お兄さんと兄さんの彼女は今月二十日から日本へ来た。家族で僕だけ日本語できるので、もちろんね日本くるならいつでも家族を助けて。実は僕はシンガポールで日本のことが好きな人々がいっぱいいるよね、家族とか、友達とか。皆ね日本のことを好きな理由はいろいろがある。例えば食べ物もおいしいし、車もすてきだし、日本人も可愛いし、とにかく全部はすごい理由だ。僕は去年八月日本へ来たから、もうそろそろ一年なると思うですけど、家族にあった時本当に久しぶりだろう。心は暖かさを感じる癖に、何でも言わない。
しかし家族と一緒に東京、京都と大阪で遊ぶのこと本当に幸せだって、あの時僕は子供っぽいだよ。このトリップは家族よく買い物したけど、僕いつも翻訳者になった。さぁ、これは文句がないよね、日本語を使えたいから。家族に会う前僕は欲しいなものがないと思うんですけど、家族と一緒に買い物したから、だんだん欲しいな物を飛び出た。アイポッドタッチ、エーアガン、人形、玩具、新しい服、靴、ゲームなど。イヤダイヤダ、僕は貯金中ですけどもういい！もう見たくないよ！銀座で買い物するのとき僕は本当に金融業に働きたいと思った。だって僕は大学で金融業から卒業した。つまり金融業に働くの場は買い物するやすいっていうことだ。
家族ね今回日本へ来るの理由の一つには桜が咲くのことを見たいだって、折りよく東京と京都でちょっと見た。家族と僕も初めて見たけど、僕は写真をいっぱい取った。京都の桜は一番きれいだと思う。京都の趣のある雰囲気と古い神社とかは、花見には一番いい景色だな。僕今回のトリップは京都へ行きたい。理由は御守りなどの物を探していると写真撮りたいだ。時間がないから、僕は清水寺と伏見稲荷神社だけ行きました。僕は京都の伏見稲荷神社で小さい神社の鈴を買った。ワイワイ、＊HAPPY* だよね。しかし金剛杖が欲しいだけど、買ったなっかた。
はいじゃ、今日はここまでです。
